Out of our hands

This morning before the ice storm rolled in I fedexed our dossier to KBS Dossiers. Now it is out of my hands for a while. I'm hoping we get our homestudy within the next 2 weeks or so. That's about it on the adoption front. We just joined the Ft. Worth area Gladney Family Association. So now we can start going to events and getting involved with people in the adoption community. We also have to do some training and we can do that online through Gladney.

I'm currently reading Dim Sum, Bagels and Grits: A sourcebook for multicultural families. It is really good and is making me think of things I would have never thought of on my own. Things about when our child goes to school and has to do the family tree project and what possibilities there are for that project besides the 'tree'. You can do a garden or a family wheel instead. Also, there are specific things about what our situation will be (white parents, african baby). It is really great because it is full of resources.

During our down time we really want to go to some of the Ethiopian restaurants that are around Dallas. I'm not known for enjoying new foods, but I'll give it a try.
